I work as a pharmacy clerk at Medical Center Pharmacy. I take prescription refills and help guide patients to the medications they are looking for. I am highly aware of certain medications and prescriptions and what they are used for. I make sure shelves are organized by what medications are used for what, such as stomach problems, colds, vitamins, etc. I take prescriptions from our patients and become aware of what each medication is and what it is used for.

As a pharmacy clerk I answer phones and greet new customers in person. I am responsible for the customer service of a pharmacy, which includes receiving customer requests and resolving any customer problems and concerns.
Prescription orders are received by the pharmacy clerk who must then accurately enter all necessary prescription, insurance and customer information in the appropriate computer systems. I am responsible for preparing accurate documentation of orders and sending them to the Pharmacist to be filled. Once an order is filled, the Pharmacy Clerk is responsible for packaging it and completing the sales transaction. This can include creating, printing and attaching appropriate prescription labels and packaging. The Pharmacy Clerk also acts as a cashier, processing sales and operating the pharmacy’s POS system. There are
number of additional duties in order to support the operation of the pharmacy and its personnel. This often includes taking inventory, noting stock levels and notifying the pharmacist of any inventory that is low or close to expiring. It can also include performing some pharmacy services under direct supervision of the pharmaceutical staff.
